Black wouldn't give reason for the new film's death, but just would say he didn't believe it would ever happen. The site also reports that other reports claim star Mel Gibson's refusal to return to the series is the main reason this new film won't happen. The site also revealed a source at Warner Bros. confirmed the news.
A contact at Warner Bros agreed with Black, saying "That one is as good as dead. It won't happen. Which is a pity" he said, adding that Black's screenplay - which reportedly involved Riggs and Martaugh teaming with the latter detective's grown-up son, now also a copper, to catch a scumbag, was "fabulous. A much better send off than [Number 4]".

Out of all the garbage Hollywood makes, nothing is dead. Especially a iconic franchise as LW.

Greatest news i've heard all day. The first and second were pretty good. The third one was terrible. And the only reason why i went to see the fourth one was because i heard from many people that Riggs was going to get killed.

The Narrator: The Better Man
Well, I kinda wanted to see this, but also didn't. Because 4 ended it good for me, and the series will always be good old fun to me.
Now Mel Gibson... HURRY UP AND SIGN ON FOR MAD MAX 4!!!!
Before they do what they said and make it a cartoon. Damn that would piss me off.
